If the Chinese have anything to do with it, Somchai will not be driving his truck along the tracks at 3a.m. https://www.google.com/search?q=chinese+high+speed+railway+images&sxsrf=ACYBGNShfpCfCu-OHWRHuWBnsWFMY8mSdQ:1575520989794&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiF3LqH2Z3mAhVWVisKHf3CAGoQ_AUoAXoECA0QAw&biw=1536&bih=722#imgrc=VluSGStZdBiaAM: 1 Link to post Share on other sites

tifino 8,431 Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 (edited) driving along, getting headaches from Mrs throwing demands from the back seat... come up to a rail line; stop on them, and I get out... Mrs and sister yelling at me... 'Why you not drive off the rails??" so I walked back, looked at them, in thru the side window, and replied... " hey you've been driving me crazy from the back seat all day! - let's see you drive yourselves out of this one..." Edited December 5, 2019 by tifino Link to post Share on other sites

decca60 136 Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 GPS can be tricky as well. Last week my car GPS wanted me to turn right at an intersection. Problem was that I was reaching a one way motorway which was built in since the last update of the GPS and absolutely no sign prohibiting to take this way....... thanks god I have a bit of a brain and reacted the right way by going left and take the next U turn otherwise !!!!!!!!! I let you imagine the type of good excuse I would have had to provide the BIB if not dead in the face to face crash !!!! Link to post Share on other sites

spidermike007 37,204 Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Real men accept responsibility when they create problems. Real men are able to accept blame when they do something really dumb and inane. Real men behave like men, and not adolescents. Real men do not do everything in their power to deflect, blame, and distort the facts. Small men do the opposite. Nothing is ever their fault. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
ubon farang 525 Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Drunk driver blaming his GPS. What next? i suppose it beats blaming the brakes or falling asleep at the wheel.

Bangkok Barry 9,115 Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 4 hours ago, Reigntax said: They could be 30m above ground and Somchai will still find a way to drive on them. True. Not so long ago a car flew through the top of a tree opposite my house. Driver fell asleep, as they do, pressed his foot down hard on the accelerator and then drove onto the bank on the side of the road which elevated him into the top of the tree. Easy if you know how Better they put the trains underground. But then the tunnels would flood in the rainy season. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
